19. This was one of the songs I used to play
… on my radio show in the 70s … days of vinyls and reel-to-reels:
18. Job applications
17. Those names … Spanish? Japanese? Scottish?
16. Something has to give here
15. In one
14. Karoline
(1112) Happy elevenses all. (1252)
13. It’s not just folly … it’s long-planned destruction …
… by globopsychos above, their henchmen (and freeland type wimmin), the myrmidons, the karen army, every little tinpot god in a position of at least some influence … in every field of human activity. Meticulously planned and in-sane.
“NO ONE WHO is truly awake could now fail to be aware of the tyranny of anti-racism/multiculturalism and the vile assaults on free speech. Yet, following the political activism of the 1960s and 1970s, including the 1968 student-led mass protests, there were worrying developments in the early 1980s: the ultra-Left were invading our major institutions, particularly education, with the specific purpose of dismantling the culture of this country, creating social division, civil strife, and destroying our liberal democracy. That project was then, and has increasingly become remarkably successful, accelerating further under the rule of Starmer.”
I’m leaving it at that … he goes into education, as I could too … esp. around the time of the introduction of the National Curriculum … I’d prefer to keep it to just the far-left, the utter-nutters for now.
12. Well, if I was insulting to the lads earlier
… saying how ugly we were, now it’s the turn of the lasses.
I should have known, really I should. The delivery was organised, the site said it was a girl named Karen … I should have put aside my prejudice towards the ladies and realised there was going to be trouble. The site says four stops, three stops, two, one … then, “You’re next,” plus her name. Uh huh.
Now, rule of thumb is fifteen minutes later, the phone in the top pocket goes, I’ve been downstairs about ten minutes, add ten more now over the phone notification … piece of cake … twenty minutes or so in the cold. In fact, in anticipation, I’d change slipper boots for my steel tipped toecap work boots from boatbuilding days, so tootsies were warm, any miscreants would get steel to the goolies and jaw … all was well.
Fifteen minutes was up.
Twenty.
Twenty-five.
Thirty.
That’s ok … it’s a girl, innit? Probably got lost. By this stage, I was counting drivers. Of the dozen trucks and vans, all but one was a man. Of the little car drivers, all but two were women, alone, the male drivers oldies with wives. Of the passers-by on’t footpath, all but two were males, one in shorts. One lady walking her dog, plus some gorgeous gal in white blouson who smiled from the other side of the street.
Thirty-five. Getting a bit coldish.
Thirty-seven … phone goes … check … yep, tack ten minutes on. Decide not to be narky, just ask her if she’d got lost.
Forty-seven … her little car pulled in.
”Karen?” Shocked that I knew, that there was actually a system in operation. Lovely grandma type, beaming … all angry feelings drained away in me. “Got lost, did you?”
”Yes.” Then: “I’ve lived here xxxx years and never been lost …”
”Never mind, how many packets?” There were three.
We chatted a bit, came upstairs to do the report … had been planning to moan. Gave her 10/10 … how weak … wwweeellllll. END.
(0649) Please see the warning item 8 below as well. (0800)
11. There’s a self-described Boer on Gab
… and he offered this info … take it or leave it as is your wont:
10. We may have had this one
… let’s have it again:
9. Jack and that still unnamed Thames bridge
Correct sir!
8. It was Yorkshire Wolds Weather who warned me
… after others had also mentioned the “biting” cold. Now, there’s this expression, see, Appalachian England I think, which goes: “Don’t teach yer grandmama to suck eggs!” For those not from either side of the pond, it means don’t try to teach an expert his job, don’t try to act expert when people already know all that … supposedly there are undertones of the insult to it.
Well that’s just what I’m going to do in my overweening arrogance … however old and experienced we are, the older we get, the more inclined we can be to forget our grandmammie’s advice and fail to put the ugg boots straight on when getting out of bed and moping around, fail to keep the thinning scalp and temple covered, the neck and arms … and the result creeps up and grabs us by the … well never mind that.
Even the most experienced old codger, kidding hisself how toof he still is, like a young lad, can fall prey to the Silly Old Fool syndrome and neglect basic grandmotherliness … including, by the way, grandmamas thesselves. One of the most dangerous words is “just”, as in I’ll just go outside for a minute, I’ll just go to the loo, I’ll juss this or that.
No! No! No! Dear tavern patrons and guests … it is precisely that failure to be sensible, sorry, which sinks you. See, there’s this thing called body core temperature and if that dips even just a tad … you can be gone … especially if, as we age, the body mass in musculature has also decreased … we are sitting ducks for that body core drop. Women trying to still look a bit fashionable in the light top or cardy are prime targets, failing to wear the outside hat.
In Britain, esp. England just now, there is this seeping cold, freezing, poisoned fog and even indoors, it seeps in through every fissure, every creaking chance it gets, even if you have the heating on and a fire going … straight to bed you go, y’hear and stay there! Your darling can bring you some chicken soup but he or she must also rug up in order to do it.
Our house here is particularly prone to accumulating cold over weeks … it’s in every beam, every pane of glass, it’s on the landings and in the stairwells … it’s a silent killer, chaps and chapesses.
Here endeth the sermon. ☺️

6. JH: Alright, I admit defeat!
Steve had already sent the Trump Homan DOGE Valentines card which I did not wish to display openly as they’re such ugly muvvers, those two, but now DAD has also done so! So here tis and don’t ever say this is a one man blog … I’ve been outvoted! 😎
And while we’re on the topic of now being outvoted, Isilme did send her Valentine’s card for her Beloved but I resisted yesterday. She assures me it is not a piccy of her hubby … oh yeah, Isilme? Well it gotta be a pic of me then! 😎
